Re: GEN - Barrons VIX Article

Bob,
Your attached chart shows the NDX (NASDAQ 100) statistical and implied 
volatilities. How does this bear on the use of VIX (OEX iv) as discussed in
the Barron's article.

Another point for others on this list:
If any stock's volatility shrinks it usually shows up in a chart pattern
that 
reveals "basing" or trading in a narrowing range. According to chart
pattern readers such "congestion" or basing usually is followed by a 
breakout up or down.

I draw the conclusion that the recent decliine in VIX is an indication
that the market is poised for a move - but the question is Up or Down?

Any comments?
STAN
